Amanda Russell didn't even have a Twitter account until hearing of the contest, according to a wire account published in the Long Beach Press-Telegram, but got one just to enter. Her winner after the jump!

Okay, so Shakespeare it's not--but it's better than A Separate Peace. Our congrats go out to Russell, we hope she enrolls at Long Beach State or UCLA, and have hope, cabrones: we, too, can win if only we try!
